I wish you a lusty weekend

I can't take it
Anymore
If I can't hold
My little behind
To me in my room (J.Kerouac)

Peep Show!

Va propun sa tragem putin cu ochiul, atat cat sa nu ni se invineteasca, la filmele care, potrivit LA Times, vin, vin, vin in 2009. Urmeaza sa vedem cum vin: calare sau pe jos.

Wanna be a millionaire-ar-dahari?

Daca vreti sa vedeti o mostra de cinematografie adevarata, daca va era dor de Danny Boyle, daca vreti sa va reamintiti de Cidade de Deus, daca vreti sa dati la regie, daca v-ati plictisit de megacabotinismele americane .... neaparat de vazut. Un film neamerican (desi castigator al Globului de Aur) prin naturalete, prospat prin imagine si imbatabil prin regie.

Rating 9/10.

Probabil una dintre cele mai efervescente cantarete din zona indie-rock, vocea celor de la The Gossip, e alegerea mea pentru saptamana aceasta. Piesa se numeste "Standing In The Way Of Control" si e dedicata lui nea Nelu', Prostanacului, Arogantului, lui Manivelu', lui nea Nicu Vacaroiu si, de ce nu, Anei Birchall. O piesa pentru viitoarea guvernare PSD (Party of Social Disgust).

Slagare de neuitat (III)

O melodie frumoasa cat toate diminetile lumii, cu niste versuri dulci-amarui. Formatia se numeste Rialto, niste baieti care au adiat ceva mai tare prin britpop-ul anilor '90, insa acum s-au potolit. Din pacate. It's monday morning .... Wake-up!

At eight o'clock we said goodbye, that's when I left her house for mine. She said that she'd be staying in - well she had to be at work by nine. So I get home and have a bath, and let an hour or two pass; drifting in front of my TV, when a film comes on that she wants to see.

It's Monday Morning 5:19, and I'm still wondering where she's been, 'cos every time I try to call I just get her machine. And now it's almost six am, and I don't want to try again, 'cos if she's still not back then this must be the end.

.At first I guess she's gone to get herself a pack of cigarettes, a pint of milk, food for the cat, but it's midnight now and she's still not back.

It's Monday Morning 5:19, and I'm still wondering where she's been, 'cos every time I try to call I just get her machine. And now it's almost six am, and I don't want to try again, 'cos if she's still not back then heaven knows, what then, is this the end?

At half past two I picture her in the back of someone else's car - he runs his fingers through her hair... Oh you shouldn't let him touch you there!
